Installation Caution: Never plug the Chest Freezer into the wall socket during installation. Risk of death or serious injury may occur. DO NOT connect your freezer to the electricity supply until all packing and transit protectors have been removed. Do not plug in the Chest Freezer if you notice a failure. Contact your nearest DEFY service centre for assistance. The Chest Freezer should be solidly positioned on the floor in a dry, well ventilated area away from heat sources such as stoves, geysers and direct sunlight and in such a way that air flow through the grill is not restricted. Placing it in a warm room, or near a heat source will increase the energy consumption and shorten the product life. This Chest Freezer was designed to operate at an ambient temperature between +10 degrees C and +32 degrees C. If the ambient temperature is below or above this range, the temperature inside the Chest Freezer may vary. Please observe the following minimun distances: 100 cm from coal or oil type cookers and 150 cm from gas and electric cookers. Ensure free circulation of air around the Chest Freezer by observing the correct distances. Assemble the supplied spacer limiters onto the condenser. (See condenser diagram on page 7). Assemble the supplied accessories. Electrical Installation This Chest Freezer must be earthed and the manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection. This Chest Freezer is designed for use on 220-240V~, 50 Hz. This makes it suitable for operation in all areas in South Africa. A moulded plug is fitted by the manufacturer, if the plug or power supply cord is damaged they must be replaced by the manufacturer, their service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a fire hazard. Should the mains lead of the freezer become damaged or should it need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a DEFY Authorised Service Agent. No other appliance should be connected to the same terminal point. Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown on the rating label on the freezer corresponds to your electricity supply. The rating label is located on the rear outer side of the freezer. We recommend that the Chest Freezer be connected to the mains supply via a suitably switched and fused socket. The Chest Freezer must be positioned so that the plug is accessible. Page 8
Operation Before operating, clean the inside of the freezer. (see Maintenance and Cleaning"). After the freezer has been cleaned, insert the plug of the Chest Freezer into the wall socket. Adjust the thermostat knob to an average position. The green LED must light up. Leave the freezer to work for about 6 hours without putting food inside it. Freezing of fresh food will be acheived after a minimum of 20 hours of operation (when there is uninterrupted power to the unit). Note: If you find that the sliding lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after you have closed it, this is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow for the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes. Control Panel The Control panel: (Depends on model) is on the front side of the freezer on models CF410 and CF530 (Item 7). On models without a control panel a thermostat adjustment knob is located on the air grille on the rear of the freezer on model CF165 and on the side of the freezer on model CF210 and CF365. The control panel comprises of: 1. Thermostat adjustment knob (A) To adjust the inside temperature. 2. Green LED (B) Shows that the freezer is supplied with electrical energy. 3.Orange button (C) Fast Freeze (Depends on model) by pushing this button, the orange led lights up indicating that the freezer has entered into the "Fast Freeze" mode. To exit the Fast Freeze mode push the button again, the orange led will go off. The LED s give information about the mode of operation of the freezer. Models with a control panel: A. Themostat knob B. Power indicator light (Green) C. Fast freeze button (Orange) CF410 & CF530 Models without a control panel: Thermostat adjustment knob (D, E) - To adjust the inside temperature.

Operating the freezer Multi mode Select the operating mode (see setting the temperature as set out below) Insert the plug of the Chest freezer into an earthed wall socket and switch on. Wait for at least 6 hours before loading the freezer with food. The control panel green indicator light glows when there is power to the Chest Freezer. Please note: You may hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the freezer system may also give rise to noise, even if the compressor is not running, this is quite normal. Setting the temperature The freezer is designed to operate in three ways. It can operate as a refrigerator, a chiller or a freezer. The temperature selection knob is located in the Multimode control panel. Multi mode control: 1 = Refrigerator 2 = Chiller 3 = Freezer Turn the knob to the desired sector on the dial: Refrigerator, Chiller or Freezer. The temperature in the cabinet may be adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat, position MAX being the lowest temperature. Multi mode characteristics During the Refrigerator or Chiller operation, there may be a build up of condensate water on the cabinet floor. This is normal and the water should be sponged up and removed if it becomes excessive, or removed via the drain if fitted. If the Chest Freezer is used as a freezer, it will require periodic defrosting. The cabinet also requires defrosting before switching from Freezer to Refrigerator or Chiller operation. The defrosting procedure is described in this book in the Defrosting section. The achieved temperatures may vary according to certain conditions of use such as: Placement of the Chest Freezer, ambient temperature, frequency of lid opening and closing and the extent to which the freezer is filled with food. The position of the thermostat knob should be adjusted to suit the operating conditions. Page 10
Using as a Refrigerator At the refrigerator setting on the dial, the temperature in the cabinet will be above 0 degrees C. This temperature is ideal for storing perishable foods such as dairy products, fresh vegetables, and cold meats. Cold drinks can also be stored at this temperature. Using as a Chiller At the Chiller setting on the dial, the unit may be compared with a butcher s cold storage facility. The temperature in the cabinet can range from 2 degrees C to -2 degrees C This temperature or Partial Freeze is ideal for storing meat or fish for a short period. The advantage is that the food can be cooked without first defrosting or thawing it. Food stored at the Chiller setting will not release water and will keep its natural fibre. Sometimes it is undesirable to freeze a fine cut of meat as some of the flavour would be lost during freezing. At the Chiller setting, meat could be cooked as though it were fresh and portions could be removed without thawing, while the balance could be stored for another occasion. Using as a Freezer At the freezer setting on the dial, the temperature in the cabinet is set at a minimum of -18 degrees C. This temperature is ideal for storing frozen food for long periods of time. Fast Freeze Button (Depends on model). Press this button to activate the Fast Freeze function. Press this button again to deactivate the Fast Freeze function. Use this function when you place fresh food into the freezer compartment or when you need ice. When this function is active, your freezer will run continuously without stopping. Please observe the maximum load limit for fresh food on the specification table. Press the Fast Freeze button again to deactivate this function. Deep Freeze packaging information Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odour, oils and acids and they must also be airtight. They must be made from materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage. Materials necessary for packaging Cold resistant adhesive tape, Self adhesive labels, Rubber rings and a Pen. Maintaining the quality of food Food must be frozen as rapidly as possible when placed in a freezer to maintain the quality of the food. It is possible to keep the food for a long time period only at temperatures of -18 degrees C or lower. The quality of food in a freezer can be maintained for many months at temperatures of -18 degrees C or lower. Page 11
Deep freeze information Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer s instructions for a (4 star) frozen food storage compartment. To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered: Put packages in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated. Do not exceed Use By or Best Before dates on the packaging. If there is a power failure do not open the freezer lid. Even if the power failure lasts up to the Temperature rise time time indicated in the Specifications section, frozen food will not be affected. In case the failure lasts longer, the food must be checked and when necessary, must be consumed immediately or must be frozen after being cooked. Wrap all food before storage. Seal all foods, or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration. Eliminate all the air pockets from packages and keep air out by firm sealing. When packaging in sheet material such as aluminium foil, parcel tightly and press out all air pockets. All folds should be sealed with deep-freeze sealing tape. Unwrapped food containing acids or salt may permanently stain the cabinet interior. When loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze before loading the next quarter. Divide food into reasonable portions according to your requirements. Allow hot food to cool before putting it into the freezer. Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This ensures rapid freezing and maintains the quality of the food. Food that has defrosted must be consumed within 24 hours. Only cooked food can be refrozen. Do not re-freeze food that has defrosted. Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs. Do not take out frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the frozen food. Always use appropriate packaging material to avoid odour penetration or degradation of the food. Transport pre-frozen food from the supermarket in foil lined cooler bags and transfer to the home freezer as soon as possible. The storage basket and separator tray (where fitted) may be pulled out to facilitate loading. Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls of the freezer to ensure fast freezing. Never exceed the maximum freezing capacity of the freezer as outlined in the freezing capacity on the specification table. If you are going to freeze fresh food in excess of 2 kg. turn the Fast Freeze switch on (Note: having the Fast freeze function depends on the model) and wait for at least three hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer. Remember to switch off the Fast Freeze switch after freezing. Do not freeze too large a quantity of food at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre as quickly as possible. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food. Page 12
Defrosting Defrost the freezer whenever the ice build up on the inside wall exceeds 5 mm in thickness. Begin by removing the plug from the wall socket and then proceed as follows: Open the lid and leave it open during defrosting. Remove the freezer baskets. Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspaper and store in a cool place. For models with a drainage plug and seperator panel: Remove the separator panel and place it under the freezer drainage hole. Remove the drainage plug. The run off water is collected in the drainage tray (separator panel). After the ice has melted and the water has runoff, wipe the freezer with a cloth or sponge. Refit the drainage plug. Dry the cabinet with a soft cloth and replace the freezer contents. Close the lid, insert the power plug back into the wall socket and switch the freezer on. For models without a drainage plug and seperator panel: After the ice has melted, sponge the water up into a bucket. Dry the cabinet with a soft cloth and replace the freezer contents. Close the lid, insert the power plug back into the wall socket and switch the freezer on. Note: Use the plastic scraper to remove excess ice on the frame and baskets. Never try to speed up defrosting by chipping at the ice with a sharp object. Never use metal objects, hairdryers, electrical heaters or any electrical appliances for defrosting. Maintenance and Cleaning Always disconnect the plug from the mains socket before cleaning the Chest Freezer. Remember that turning the thermostat to 0 does not switch the power off. Clean the outside of the Chest Freezer using lukewarm water and a sponge. Clean the inside of the Chest Freezer when necessary by using a solution of one table spoon of Bicarbonate of Soda to two litres of warm water. Ensure that no water enters the light housing (where fitted) and other electrical items. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not use pot scorer's, abrasive powders, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish to clean the Chest Freezer. Spillages, especially citric and acidic juices, must be wiped up immediately as they could stain the Chest Freezer. Freezer baskets may be removed for cleaning purposes. The back of the Chest Freezer may be vacuumed or dusted using a soft bristle brush. If your Chest freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cable, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar. Check the lid seal regularly to ensure it is clean and free from food particles. Page 13
Trouble shooting Please review this list before calling a service centre. This list includes frequent complaints that do not arise from defective workmanship or material usage. Some of the features described below may not apply to your model. Symptom The freezer does not operate. Compressor is not running. The freezer is running continuously or for a long time. There are noises coming from the freezer like liquid spilling or spraying. The lid is not closing. Condensation on inside of glass top. Ice build up on the inside walls of the chest freezer. Check Make sure the freezer plug is securely plugged in. Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Test the wall socket for power using another appliance. Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Eliminate the use of an extension cord, if any is being used. Your freezer is not plugged into the wall socket. Make sure that the plug is properly fitted into the wall socket. Have the temperature adjustments been correctly made? Power might be cut off. The ambient room temperature may be high. This is quite normal. The freezer might have been plugged in recently or might have been loaded with food. Cooling down of the freezer completely may last for a couple of hours longer. Large amounts of hot food might have been put in the freezer recently. Hot food causes longer running of the freezer until the food has cooled. The freezer lid might have been opened frequently or left open for a long time. The warm air that has entered into the freezer causes the freezer to run for longer periods. Open the lid less frequently. The freezer lid might have been left open. Check that the lid is properly closed. The freezer is adjusted to a very low temperature. Adjust the freezer temperature to a warmer degree and wait until the temperature is achieved. The lid seal of the freezer may be soiled, worn out, broken or not properly seated. Clean or replace the seal. A damaged/broken seal causes the freezer to run for a longer period of time in order to maintain the current temperature. Ensure that the Fast Freeze switch has been switched off after using the Fast Freeze function. (Depends on model). Liquid and gas flow occur in accordance with the operating principles of your freezer. It is normal and not a fault. Incorrect packing of foods may prevent the lid from closing. Repack the foods that are obstructing the lid. In high humidity areas there will be condensation on the inside of the glass top. Defrost your chest freezer more frequently in high humidity areas to prevent ice build up on the inside walls of the chest freezer. Unintentionally leaving the lid open will cause ice build up. Ensure that the lid is always properly closed. If you have followed the instructions and still have a problem, contact the nearest Defy Service Centre. They will be able to advise you on any aspect of the product or send a qualified technician to repair it. Page 14
